Classical music piece in Simpsons Episode!
Question: Classical music piece in Simpsons Episode
In The Simpsons episode "Itchy & Scratchy & Marge," Marge decides that children should not be watching Itchy and Scratchy cartoons, because they are violent and serve little developmental value!. She forms an action group, "SNUH," through whose efforts she successfully boycotts Itchy and Scratchy!. This has the unexpected consequence of leaving Springfield's children free to pursue an idealistic and Utopian childhood!.
For a few moments, (at least), we watch as the town's children indulge in kite-flying, hop-scotch playing, and many other wholesome activities, while a certain piece of classical music plays!.
Can you help me identify that piece of classical music!?
So far, all I have is that it is maybe Beethoven's 6th Symphony!.!.!. or something named "Sechte!." Any help on this would be great!

Answers:
It's the Pastoral symphony which is indeed Beethoven's 6th symphony!. I can't find a clip of the Simpsons episode, but I'm betting it's the first movement as that is the most famous part of that symphony!.
Is this it!?

Definitely Beethoven 6th, first movement as Anne pointed out!. I believe it was also used in another similar scene - seems like the teacher strike episode!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
